That's because when you enter the right password, it tell the computer to "Write text to the page" and nothing else.

js is not a good option for such security because it is at client side PHP should be used because not only they can have password if they know little js by looking at page source they can even see the secured content and modify to disable the alert as well however the problem you are facing is because document .write writes to the document only what is inside it thus your things will be removed

Please note that the way you are doing is in NO WAY the way it's done. Do not go out and create pages with that technique. If you are still learning, go on - try out everything there is. BUT don't go out and do that in a real world example... Now that that is done: /* * Configuration */ var password = ("password_string"); /* * Get user input */ var input_pass = prompt("Password: "); if ( input_pass == password ){ document.write("You have entered " + input_pass + "which is the password"); } else{ document.write("You entered " + input_pass + "that is not the password"); }
